In a moment, I’ll tell you about how you can help Jade in our warehouse (and maybe help your wallet too). But first…
Fake Facebook friends
If you ever comment on public Facebook posts, I’ve got a couple of responses for you to be wary of. Some of them will be fairly harmless: you’ll probably either get people agreeing with you, or occasionally someone who’s looking for an argument, but they’re fairly easy to ignore (which is definitely what I would advise).
But every so often, you’ll get a response that might seem fairly legitimate, but is actually a bit more nefarious under the surface. The most common one I’m talking about is when someone replies with something along the lines of:
“Hi Bob, I’m really very impressed with your profile and personality. I also admire your good sense of humour on here. I don’t normally write in the comments section, but I’d like to be your friend…”
This might not be the exact script that they use, but it’s the general gist. Basically someone you’ve never met before, asking to be your Facebook friend. But in reality they’re romance scammers playing the long con, hoping to cheat you out of your money.
So even if someone seems perfectly nice, I’d be wary of accepting friend requests from anyone you don’t recognise or don’t have any connection to. Better safe than sorry!
Can you give Jade a hand in the warehouse?
Jade’s in charge of our warehouse, and she likes to run a tight ship. Summer’s always a relatively quiet time here at Helpful Books (with people off on holiday) so she’s decided to have a good sort out and get the warehouse shipshape and Bristol fashion.
And you might be able to help!
Jade’s offering copies of iPads One Step at a Time and Android Tablets One Step at a Time at HALF PRICE – to make a bit of space.
These books explain exactly how to use the tablet – where on the screen to tap, what gestures to use and where important options are hidden away. It’s all explained in plain language, rather than complicated jargon. And there are lots of pictures of the screen, showing exactly where to tap it, making it really clear and easy to follow. You can read all about them here and order your HALF PRICE copies.
The Get More from your Tablet book is HALF PRICE too – it’s a sort of companion to the iPad and Android tablet books.. It’s an 80 page book covering the 62 FREE apps that I think you might find useful.
The books are usually £12.97 full price, so at half price, that makes them just £6.49 per copy (plus £3.99 P&P per order). Why not grab a bargain for yourself (or a friend)?
If you wish using your tablet was simpler and easier OR you’d like to get a bit more out of it – you can click here to have a look at the information I’ve put together (and if you’re interested, order a copy on free trial).
Be quick – I don’t expect they’ll be here for long at this price! I fully expect them all to go – possibly fairly quickly.
